Dumb place sent out a notification for kids to wear their college sweatshirt to school on May 1st.

What is this? So kids can brag more about the swanky, expensive colleges they got into and make others feel badly who were waitlisted or had to take second choice? Yuck. I know I know - we bought here thinking it was a "good" School.. NO! A school of pushy, rude parents who only look out for number one. Themselves and their kids. It's awful.

What about a kid who may have to go to Montgomery College? What if someone isn't going to college? What if someone comes from low income housing and cannot afford college? What if What if What if?? Not bad in and of itself but geez. My kid is likely going to UMD and has already received a number of snarky comments. On waitlist that won't get off of while kid x, y, z parades in and out with a Michigan sweatshirt daily.

Why does this idiot school allow this? What is wrong with these people? Isn't the instagram they are exposed to daily bad enough???

Stop the madness. It's cruel to some of these kids who are not thrilled with college decision.

You reap what you sew...

Wait, you’re mostly concerned with kids who “not thrilled” with where they’ll be attending college?! Now that’s embarrassing.

No, it hasn’t and I went to a local, all girls’ prep school.

Get a tshirt with printed tuxedo front.

We did this at RM in the 2000s.

Is this the first time your kid didn’t get what they wanted?

Welcome to the real life for the rest of us.

So don’t do it. Why are you stressing out about it?

My high school (public) had uniforms so they chose to disallow t shirts day.

We did this in Long Island in the late 80’s. Definitely not a W school thing. Going to college is a rite of passage for many and kids should be able to celebrate that.

Otherwise print one up that shows: UNDECIDED

False.

How about “every high performing HS does it”?

That's kinda sad, OP, that kids would make snarky comments about someone going to UMD.

My kid wore a free UMD tshirt that they got at admitted students day to school, and yes, they are going to UMD. But, we are at RM, and many RMIB kids go to UMD, especially for STEM.

Yet another reason why I'm glad we did not choose a W school.
